Henry is the third of our anniversary bears and is based on our very early patterns – you can see that he’s related to the bear in our logo and Rupert (archive page 1996) but we have updated it a little and given him a tail! All current Bear Bits bears have a tail. Henry is made from some very special antique mohair/silk mix fabric that I have been hoarding for most of the 20 years – I think I bought it in about 1995! He is traditionally jointed; has black glass eyes; has wool felt pads together with embroidered claws; is firmly stuffed and has 2 growlers so he will speak to you quite a lot and wears a lovely Aran jumper designed by Jean and knitted by Bill’s mother.
